Abstract
This chapter begins with an introduction to the Queueing Theory. Then it proposes the formulation of a varied set of Queueing Theory problems with their corresponding solutions. Here problems relating to steady-state queueing models performance measures with, for example, one queue, one serve and an infinite population, one queue, one server and a finite population, one queue, multiple parallel servers and an infinite population, one queue, multiple parallel servers and a finite population, one queue and multiple serial servers, are put forward. The solution is carried out by means of the corresponding analytical formulae. Different problems relating to Industrial Organisation Engineering and the management domain are set out and their solutions are provided.
